2 Georgia football signees win track and field state championships

Scouts knew that 2017 Georgia ILB signee Nate McBride had speed, but his performance at Saturday’s state track meet may have exceeded their highest expectations.

The big, 6-foot-1, 223-pound LB not only led the meet with a time of 10.77 in the 100, but also won the 200 with a time of 21.71, and he anchored the 4×100 relay team in their defense of Class AA state title. The Vidalia Indians recorded a team time of 42.30 in the relay.

The event, which took place at Hugh Mills Stadium in Albany, Ga., was a bit of a redemption story for McBride, who missed last year’s event due to a hamstring injury.

Here’s a video of McBride’s blazing speed:

Another Georgia signee from the 2017 class, CB Tray Bishop, also tore up his Georgia state track meet with a 100m time of 11.11 at the Class-A level:

Bishop was able to win the meet despite a minor knee surgery in February. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound DB won a state title in only his fourth race of the year.

The injury had a small effect on Bishop, whose time of 11.11 was far from a career best, but still good enough for a state title.

“I’m not thrilled with the time, but it will do,” Bishop said (via Rivals) after the event. “First place. I’ll take it.”
